Notice

Further, the City of Springville wishes to let it be known that no conflict of interest or appearance of conflict of interest exist by direct communication with citizens without City of Springville’s approval.
If unauthorized communication occurs which causes billable time by the City Attorney, the City Attorney is directed to notify the City of the amount of time and any costs associated with such communication. The fees incurred by unauthorized contact of the City Attorney by citizens will result in an invoice to that citizen from the City.
